Swingtown

Swingtown Recaps

• Finalewatch: 'Swingtown.' The summer of '76

  Summer lovin', had me a blast...sumer lovin', happened so fast. You know, that's a lyric most guys probably wouldn't appreciate much. That aside Swingtown has come to an end of it's summer lovin', with a show that tried to answer....well. Just about anything, I suppose, yet still left more questions.

• 'Swingtown' Malaise

  As Swingtown winds down its summer season, it almost feels as if they are trying to clean up as much of the story-lines as possible. Which is no easy feat, given the amount of different plots that are flying around this show. This week, they added even more while continuing the theme of everything going wrong. For everyone.

• 'Swingtown' Gender Roles

  This week, Swingtown touched upon another social hot topic: gender roles. And we watched the relationships of our main characters further devolve. I think the producers are trying to tell us something.  The 70's sucked!

• 'Swingtown' Everyone needs therapy

  Swingtown proved that sometimes you need a professional to help you through your issues. And that family therapy exists for a reason, which is not just so you can beat each other senseless with Nerf bats.

• 'Swingtown' Underestimated

  Each week, Swingtown packs more and more into its one hour time slot then any other show I've seen. There's a creepy double entendre in there somewhere, but I don't think I want to find it.

• 'Swingtown' Tangled webs are woven

  Swingtown moved from Thursdays to Fridays this week - the sort of move that is rarely a good sign to the future of a show. And we've seen this series struggle through its first handful of episodes, with an uneven voice and too many story lines. Did tonight fix any of that?
